Sounds like the Francoisation of the UK.

Franco-isation

But that has already started, Vlad.

Mrs May has realised that now that UKIP is vestigial its voters must have somewhere to go. "Brexit means Brexit" was a slogan designed to appeal to those abandoned by Forridge. She realises that if she plays her cards right she can turn rUK into a one party state.

The Conservative Party can claim to be the oldest political party in the world with its origins in the 17th century. The Conservative Party is older than the United Kingdom.

What better of promoting herself than as the torch bearer of tradition and as the national figurehead? Once Corbyn has balkanised the Labour Party and the old lady in Buck House has expired Theresa May can declare herself Dictator.

Yep I see where you are coming from. Succession followed by referendum in press on who should be king, Then following 'the will of the people'' May declares herself Regent emeritus, Caudilla, leaderine, County Durham's gorgeous legs queen 1983 and maybe even the Lullaby of Broadway.

Great repeal bill?!?

A misnomer if ever there was one given that its job is to enshrine EU law into UK law rather than repeal anything. The Great Enshrinement Bill would be a more apt title.

And apparently they won't be able to use the word "great" in the official name...

... or "repeal".
